CHILDREN AT RISK : WORLD
All around the globe there are children living in horrible conditions especially, in third world countries. Many of these children are starving, being forced into labor, fighting in wars some before the age of 8, and taking on tons of other responsibilities no child should have to deal with.
CHILD LABOR
Millions of children around the world are trapped in child labor, depriving them of their childhood, their health and education, and condemning them to a life of poverty and want. Of course, there is work that children do to help their families in ways that are neither harmful nor exploitative. But many children are stuck in unacceptable work for children – a serious violation of their rights. At current rates, more than 100 million children will still be trapped in child labour by 2020. The continuing persistence of child labour poses a threat to national economies and has severe negative short and long term consequences for the fulfillment of children’s rights guaranteed by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) – including denial of education and frequent exposure to violence.

CHILD SOLDIERS
Tens of thousands of children are involved in conflicts in over 20 countries as child soldiers. In many cases they are ripped from their homes from ages as early as 6 and forced to fill the shoes of the number of adults lacking in their military. Returning after being released continues to prove to be a struggle for children that have experienced the war. Reintegrating society as a child after witnessing atrocities such as war, rape, and murder prove to be difficult in child development.
